Violence Prevention Network gGmbH

Violence Prevention Network is a group of experienced specialists who have been successfully engaged in anti-violence work and the prevention of extremism, as well as in the de-radicalisation of extremist-motivated criminals, for a number of years. Since 2001, the Violence Prevention Network team has been working successfully in reducing ideologically motivated and religious-motivated, serious crime and extreme acts of violence committed by youths. By way of its work with right-wing extremist youths and those endangered by Islamist fundamentalism, over the years, the Violence Prevention Network team has acquired expertise in the field of working with ideologically motivated criminal offenders that is recognised throughout the country. In the method of Verantwortungspädagogik® (Education of Responsibility), Violence Prevention Network has identified a way to address people who have affiliated themselves with anti-democratic structures without humiliating them, thus facilitating their reversion to the democratic community.
